# Standups

A great way to find focus whenever you start your day

## What are Standups?

**Standups** are short, frequent updates about day-to-day work. They help teams share priorities and blockers asynchronously without requiring an in-person or video meeting.

Use [check-ins](/docs/become-a-tability-power-user/features/check-ins/how-to-create-check-ins.md) for progress against an outcome or key result. Use Standups for the work happening today, immediate coordination, and blockers that teammates need to see.

A typical Standup format:

* **What did you do yesterday?** Summarise the work or events from the previous day.
* **What are you doing today?** Share your priorities and intended result.
* **Blockers:** Name anything stopping or delaying progress. Mention a teammate when you need their help.

## Use the Standups dashboard

Open **Standups** from the left sidebar to review updates across your workspace.

In the Standups dashboard you can:

* post a new Standup
* review your previous Standups, newest first
* review recent Standups across the workspace
* focus on updates from teams or people you follow

## Create a Standup

To create a Standup:

1. Open **Standups** from the left sidebar, or use the **Standup status** section in **My focus**.
2. In the top left corner, find your profile image and a field to start typing.
3. Write your update and click **Save**. You can edit the Standup later.
